Title: On-line computer-based image-processing system determines retail value of pig cadaver by combination of visual measurements with statistical data
Inventor: HINZ AXEL
IPC: G01N33/12
Filed: 1999-10-21
Abstract: In a process to determine the retail value of a weighed side of pork, the weights of the bone, fat and meat are assessed on the basis of predictive factors. The factors are the measured outer contour of the half-cadaver, from which the surface area is derived. Also determined is the profile of the backbone, from which is derived the length and area of selected body parts. Further determined is the relative thickness and arrangement of the dorsal sub-cutaneous layer of fat. These predictor factors are taken together in conjunction with the relationship between known statistical data.  The data relating to each half-cadaver are derived by non-contact optical sensors such as an on-line colour video-link to a computer with image processing software. The half-cadaver hangs from a hind leg and passes in this condition past a video camera.

Abstract: Fracture separation region production, by surface hardening to embrittle web tips between depressions formed in a low to medium carbon steel component using an energy beam, is new.  A fracture region, for fracture separation of a carbon steel component, is formed using an energy beam (laser or electron beam) by:  (a) melting, evaporating and/or expelling funnel-shaped depressions, separated from one another by webs, along one side of the fracture separation plane (5, 5') from the component surface (6, 6') outwards; and  (b) cutting the near-surface web tips of adjacent depressions, having brittle cross-sections formed by self-quenching, to form hardening cracks as starter cracks for fracture separation.  The novelty is that, when the component (1, 1') is made of carbon steel of 0.5% C content, at least the web tips are embrittled by surface hardening.  An Independent claim is also included for a control ring treated by the above process.

Abstract: The present invention provides a high purity
cobalt sputter target having a single phase h.c.p.
structure and a magnetic permeability less than the
intrinsic magnetic permeability of the material.
Substantially pure cobalt is cast and slowly cooled,
such as at a rate of 15°C/min. or less, to form a cast
target of single phase h.c.p. crystallographic
structure. This cast target is hot worked at a
temperature of at least about 1000°C to impart a strain
of about 65% or greater into the cobalt material,
followed by a slow, controlled cooling to room
temperature, such as at a rate of 15°C/min. or less, to
maintain the single phase h.c.p. crystallographic
structure. The cooled target is then cold worked at
substantially room temperature to impart a strain of
about 5-20%. The sputter target of the present
invention processed by this method has a magnetic
permeability of less than about 9, grain sizes in the
size range of about 70-160µm and average grain size of
about 130µm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for local Bayesian classification and
regression. In a first step, a joint estimate is made of the density in the covariate and response
variables constituting multivariate normal distributions. Subsequently responses are sampled
from the estimate and finally an arbitrary transformation is performed on latent parameters of
a k-dimensional distribution, where each dimension is defined on a real line (i.e - ∞ to + ∞)
and where k is an integer greater than or equal to 2. 
The invention offers extremely flexible ways of modelling data and is capable of dealing with
a highly varied customer base that does not follow a global trend. It is unaffected by outliers,
such as errors in the data or small groups of customers displaying unusual behaviour. It can
also deal elegantly with missing values in the data. An important technical contribution of the
invention is that it allows inferences to be reversed from a given behaviour to demographic
descriptions of customers that perform that behaviour. In other words it can provide a
previously unobtainable executive summary describing the factors that drive customer
behaviour.

back audio files as audibly perceptible signals via the
sound reproducing unit (13). It further comprises cable

of breaking the two devices from each other, and the accessory
device can be designed independently of the design
of a specific phone model. By further incorporating
a microphone in the device there is no longer a need for
having a microphone in the headset, and thus a normal
